Green Energy

I see Chris Huhne is letting Councils sell electricity on to the grid. The practical effect of this is likelyt to be limited by the severe cutbacks in Council funding. I suspect most Councils will be using their diminished funds to avoid sacking the staff who provide frontline services. However, Brent has one ongoing project that will be affected by this. The proposed Civic Centre is designed to be powered by a waste vetable oil boiler that might be able to generate surplus energy. Indeed the use of the boiler to link in to a Wembley wide District Heating system is one of the key environmental arguments for the Civic Centre in the first place.
